Our Trip to Holiday World

We've decided to follow the trend and start a blog. this seems to be the easiest way to share pictures with everyone (especially since we haven't updated our old webpage for about 2 years). We went to Holiday World a little over a week ago and had a great time. If you've never been, I would definitely recommend it for families with young kids (I can't comment on the rides for the bigger kids since we didn't go on any of them). It was very clean and had a huge waterpark. And, you can't beat unlimited free drinks!!!

The girls had a great time playing on a giant playground and going on some kiddie rides.


We took this picture of the girls...


And Alyssa took this picture of us


Ryan and Alyssa had fun on the bumper cars

And the girls and I posed on the merry-go-round
The highlight for the girls was winning this giant bear. Ryan played the "throw the ball in the milk carton" game. He had 7 chances and won with ball #5. I've never seen him try so hard with each attempt. The funny thing was that after winning, a young girl walked up next to us and won after her second attempt (it looked like she wasn't even trying).
We told the girls that they had to carry it to the car
if they wanted to take it home...
nothing like a little teamwork.
